No, sorry, can't agree on that. Individual employers in the private sector made private decisions to move jobs to other countries. There was no controlling legal authority that mandated that this manufacturing job or that customer service position had to be located on foreign soil. Oh, the governments may have contributed greatly to the environment that made the decision rational, but the government didn't do it. individual employers in the private sector did that.
Just the same way that the government does not force an individual employer in the private sector to hire illegals. That's a personal decision each employer in the private sector has had to make on their own.
Blaming the government for personal decisions sounds a lot like collective salvation. It works for some, but not for me.
The only person who I want to hear say, "The Devil made me do it" is Flip Wilson. And Mr. Wilson is no longer with us.
But that is exactly the point. Take Obamacare, which will force companies to send job overseas due to high employee medical costs. Obamacare is a job killer. Employers didn't ask for Obamacare, it was forced on them.
Corporations, hedge funds and lobbyists got what they bribed the politicos to get. They paid millions in campaign contributions !
Middle class tax payers cannot compete with corporations. Even wealthy Saudis have more of a voice here that the voters. (Remember the Saudis got a free pass from GWB and were allowed to flee the U.S. after 9-11 __ ?)
Who were these wealthy criminals who bribed our politicians ___ ? George Soros for one. .
You have blinders on, just like a work horse.
